Individualistic Doer

I grabbed this from Kriselle. And just like what she had said, it's true.

Individualistic DoerIndividualistic Doers are self-assured and very independent persons. They are quiet and realistic, very rational, extremely matter of fact persons. They strongly cultivate their individualism and enjoy applying their abilities to new tasks. But they are also very spontaneous and impulsive persons who like to follow their sudden inspirations. Individualistic Doers are good and precise observers who register everything which goes on around them. However, they are not so sensitive as regards interpersonal relations and are surprised when they occasionally rub someone up the wrong way with their direct and blunt manner. They are not particularly fond of obligations; but if you give them space, they are uncomplicated, sociable and cheerful individuals.

Individualistic Doers enjoy challenges - action and the odd kick are simply part of their life. They love tempting fate and many people of this type have risky hobbies such as skydiving or bungee jumping. This also applies to their workaday life. Individualistic Doers are in top form in critical situations; they can grasp situations, make decisions and take the necessary steps extremely quickly. Hierarchies and authorities impress them very little; if a superior is not competent, they will have little respect for him. Individualistic Doers like to take on responsibility. They have a marked sense of reality and always find the most suitable and expedient solution for a problem. They resolve conflicts openly and directly; here, they sometimes lack tact but are also very good at taking criticism themselves.

As friends, Individualistic Doers are loyal and devoted; they only have a few friendships but many of them last a lifetime. People enjoy talking to them because of their optimistic attitude to life and their ability to listen. However, they prefer to talk about mutual interests and hobbies rather than about theoretical or philosophical issues - they are not tangible enough for them. They need a lot of freedom and time to themselves in love relationships but, at the same time, they are also very tolerant towards their partners. It happens very seldom that Individualistic Doers fall head over heels in love. They are far too rational. They prefer to pick their partner on the basis of mutual interests and preferences which they want to share with that partner. Individualistic Doers are not particularly fond of effusive outbursts of emotion. They prefer to prove their love by their actions and expect the same of their partner. Whoever wishes to tie an Individualistic Doer to himself needs a lot of patience. It takes some time before this personality type is willing to get involved with another person.

Ironic

*It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures.

My week has been very bad. Just this afternoon, I realized that I never went home feeling well. Everyday was a bad, painful, aching, terrible, and distressing day.

Just when you thought all your troubles for the day had passed, someone comes to add more.
Just when you thought you were walking peacefully at the mall, some weird kids begin to ask for your name.
Just when you thought all paperwork were finished, someone tells you that these papers are rejected.
Just when you thought everything was going fine in this subject you hated before, your teacher suddenly becomes mad at your class.
Just when you thought that you had already moved on, suddenly, everything comes back.
Just when you thought that this person could cheer you up, he suddenly worsens the situation.
Just when you were about to thank God for this person's presence, this person surprisingly says the words you never expected to come from him.
Just when you thought that you could enjoy a walk home during a dark night, rain begins to pour. Just when you have decided to take a ride home, the rain stops.
Just when you thought your parents had grown used to you coming home late for three years already, they ask you why you were late and where you were for three very stressful days now.
Just when you thought you could relax and unwind at home, you see your bed unmade and your sister's empty of glass of iced tea broken by your other sister in your bedroom.
Just when you thought you were alone and blogging peacefully, someone comes to tell you to sleep.

And just when you thought you have exhausted every single drop from your eyes, droplets start forming.

Isn't it ironic?

Randomness

This is a reply to Kriselle's comment last week, from Shorts, Movies, and Frappés. As I was typing this, I realized that it's getting more like a post. Haha. So I deleted the last part of my comment and posted it in here.

Kriselle: "I hope more happy things come for you!"

my reply: -Thank you!! I hope so too. Right now, I feel inspired [and happy]. I hope that this lasts forever...or at least until next year.

Anyway, I hope happy things come for you too. Stay happy and inspired. Being inspired is the best way to cope with stress and depression. It's the thing that pushes you forward--even if you just tripped. It's the thing that will make you ignore your falls--and will push you to continue ahead. It's a way to make you wake in the morning and rant about having to wake so early but still gets up because you WANT to go to school.

I'm feeling that way, I swear. Haha.

Okay..that was created a week ago. Right now, I don't feel that inspired anymore. Haha. I still feel happy, though I was happier when I was making the comment above.

Shorts, Movies, and Frappés

I haven't updated my blog for a very long time for some reasons:
1. I'm busy.
2. I lack inspiration.
3. I feel too exhausted and weary to blog about my boring life.

But because I'm uber happy today (since yesterday, actually), I'm making a post! My happiness is due to unknown and/or unspecified reasons. Haha. Anyway, let me share what happened.

Last night: I skipped writing the 'scope and limitations' and 'related readings' of our thesis so I could sleep early to enjoy the next day (Momo's birthday) without drooping eyelids. Unfortunately, I was constantly awakened by *the clamor outside my room and the persistent vibrations of my cellphone. I wake each time it vibrates. And so, my slumber began around 1am. And it was ended around 6am by an unknown reason. In short, I didn't sleep well.

Skipping the boring parts, everyone finally arrived at the mall. In spite of my starvation, I failed to empty my plate. We watched a movie, consequently. The movie was fine, it reminded us of a *very familiar story. It also led me into new discoveriesEffie watches a horror movie with her eyes half-covered and this was Patrice's first time to watch a horror movie in the cinema. We strolled around toys and books next. We got bored after that so we thought of eating [again] out of desperation to do something. That's why we ended up eating Momo's birthday cake with frapp
és.

I feel sad that I can't think of the right words to make you understand how very happy my day was. Honestly, I want to sink my worn-out body on my bed right now but...I want to make an archive of this day. I want to remember this day forever.

I also feel sad because all of us failed to bring a *functional camera and I won't be able to show you snapshots of our happy moments.

But I feel the happiest because I got the chance to spend this day with them before we separate soon. I feel the happiest because I ate lunch with them, I watched a movie with them, I ate cake with them, I drank frappé with them, and I walked with them at the mall. I feel the happiest because I was with them again because...I haven't felt their presences, like for an eternity. I feel the happiest because we were reunited, though we were like worlds apart. *keyboard gets soaked* I feel the happiest because I was given the chance to know Effie, Tatum, Monique, Joyce, Gizelle, Miguel, Tolits, Patrice, and Rabbi.

Have I said that it's worth knowing you?

*clamor outside my room- caused by my mom and her guest
*very familiar story- about twins...and blah..blah..I won't spoil the movie for you.
*functional camera- cameras brought needed recharging

P.S.
Thing I learned:
1. Don't write in the middle of the nightwhen most people tend to get emotional.

BTW, happy birthday, Momo!
